My dad is 63 today. I think. I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure it's 63. Several years older, now, than his own father survived to be, and he's sort of weirdly proud of that. (I think his own father didn't even make 60.)

I am feeling rather scattered, of late. So, bullet points!

• Dressed up in a corset and goth makeup for Saturday night. Spent the day working on costumes, so actually wound up wearing the corset for probably 18 hours because I tried it on and was too lazy to take it off. Surprisingly comfortable. They should come back into fashion.
  
• Z's costume was marvellous-- he dressed as a Steel Town Tank Girl but I got not one photo!! I was going to post about how funny it was with photos and all but I didn't get any, so I have to wait for people to post their photos of the event. So I don't have a funny explanation yet. But I will.
  
• My breasts intimidated people. I am a little self-conscious about that. But then we went to a party with a bunch of gay guys who were all fascinated and it made me feel better about my boobs. I might've been better off not showing quite so much of them to all my leaguemates. But really the boobs themselves were pretty well-behaved and didn't fall out much.
  
• I love the E:strippers so much, I just do.
  
• I cleaned Z's bearings last night and took a bunch of artsy photos. I was going to make a tutorial about cleaning bearings, but I think the photos might be too artsy. So watch this space for a bunch of pointlessly artistic shots of rollerskate parts.
  
• I found someone else who is way interested in vintage porn. I think we should start a pornographic re-enactment society. I'd so get disowned. It'd be great. [n.b. this other person is a gay dude, so it's not like our tastes are actually compatible, but it was really amusing to discuss.]
  
• It is suddenly cold here. Curses and fie. I know it's time for it, but I still wasn't quite ready. At least I got my pepper plants indoors, though I didn't have time to pick all the tomatoes. I don't know for sure if there was a frost-- there was ice on the windshield, though. I cleverly melted it by throwing water on the windshield and turning the wipers on, thereby splashing myself in the face with very cold water. I win at being an idiot!
  
• I need some insulated drapes for that front window like you wouldn't believe. Brrrr.

I saw Hazel at Nietchze's Saturday night and sort of waved across the bar but didn't get a good look at her costume. Later, I went into the ladies room and saw a pair of skates under the stall door. I knew it had to be her, and it was. But I didn't think to ask if she had actually skated there from her apartment.

Oh she probably did. Nice.

Did you know she's leaving town??? Next month!!! The Knockouts' numbers are severely depleted. The draft next month will more than double our ranks.

Estrip parties are always a good time. Your costume was great and so was Z's

Vintage Porn? Are you talking about B&W or the 70's?

By vintage porn I mean, like, pre-1950s.
It's tremendously amusing to realize that the idea that in pornos, nobody takes off their shoes or socks dates back to at least the middle of the nineteenth century.

And every time technology progresses, just about the first thing somebody thinks to do with it is take/make/post porn. Many of the earliest photographs by any technique are pornographic; many of the first motion pictures were also pornographic. I have recently seen a silent film made in probably 1925 featuring various French whores and it is hilarious, and also seems weirdly modern-- everything from the plot to the shoes staying on to the cumshot could pretty much happen now, just with different hair and a bit more cynical professionalism and, you know, video editing.
